Dell’s M-Series blade solutions start with the M1000e enclosure. A 10U enclosure, the M1000e shared infrastructure includes up to six hot-plug, redundant power supplies, up to nine hot-plug, redundant Energy Smart fans and one (redundant optional) Chassis Management Controller (CMC). The M1000e enclosure holds up to sixteen half-height server blades or eight full-height server blades. Up to three fully redundant interconnect I/O fabrics (Ethernet, Fibre Channel, etc.) are supported simultaneously within the enclosure through up to six interconnect I/O modules.

Half-height server blades options at Aventis Systems include the M520, M600, M610, M620, and M710HD. Full height blade servers include the quad-processor M820 and the ultra-scalable M710. Aventis Systems offers standalone blade server options for ultimate server-by-server customization, as well as populated M1000e chassis with a variety of interconnect options for a complete M-Series blade server solution.
